Sophomore Chi Chun Chen matches career low round, paces Cougars in sixth place
LAREDO, Texas – University of Houston Men's Golf earned its third runner-up finish of the season, carding an even-par, 861, as part of its first team-scoring tournament of the spring from the 54-hole Border Olympics at Laredo Country Club on Tuesday.
Houston shot 2-over, 286, on Tuesday, trimming five stroke off its Second Round to tie New Mexico State at the two-day event. The Cougars, who have earned six straight Top-5 finishes at the Border Olympics including Top-2 results three of the last four years, were led by sophomore Chi Chun Chen's sixth place result at even-par, 213.
The Tainan, Taiwan, native climbed 13 spots up the leaderboard on the final day thanks to a 4-under, 67. The score matched New Mexico State's Ethan Klose for the lowest round at the two-day event and was the lowest 18-hole score for the Cougars through three individual or team events this spring.
Chen tapped in four birdies and added an eagle – one of 14 by the field at the Border Olympics – Tuesday while matching his career low round. His 7-under on nine Par-5 opportunities matched Lipscomb's Sam Potter for the lowest score among the 84-player field.
Louisiana, which entered Tuesday's Final Round with a three-stroke lead, captured the tournament title at 3-over, 855, after matching the lowest round of the day at 1-under. New Mexico State's Klose earned the individual title at 5-under, 208, holding off Michigan's Hunter Thomson (209) by one stroke.
Houston senior Laurenz Schiergen, who sat in a three-way tie atop the leaderboard through 36 holes, finished eighth place at 1-over, 214. The result marked Schiergen's fourth career Top-10 finish and second consecutive after taking sixth last time out at the Houston Classic.
Junior Hudson Weibel and senior Wolfgang Glawe finished in a four-way tie for 21st at 5-over, 218. Glawe shaved one stroke off his First and Second Round 73 thanks to six birdies in an eight-hole stretch and finished the tournament with 11 birdies, matching the fifth most among the field. Weibel sunk birdies on two of his final four holes and was particularly impressive on the course's Par 4s, finishing 1-over – seventh lowest among all players.
Senior Jacob Borow moved four spots up the leaderboard Tuesday, matching his Second Round 73 highlighted by three straight birdies on Nos. 16-18 to finish in a six-way tie for 27th at 7-over, 220. Sophomore Grant Doggett paced the course's four individual competitors and finished 33rd overall at 8-over, 221.
